Platform part 2

SS scrap from previous post is now a woodgas reheater with condensate drain, and exhaust pipe

The monorator shell described in an earlier post may not work in a stationary engine, due to a lack of air flow, so the top of that inner shell will be sealed and exhaust gas will be used to pre-heat the wood

The producer gas runs up the 3 tubes on left and down the 3 on the right, the radiator could be larger but this is what I've got on hand
